This post is about a radically new treatment modality for those with orthopedic pain. It’s new and very different from anything that has This guest post is from Merilee Kern about an new innovation in the field of chronic pain and rehabilitation.
JB3 Innovations, a product development company focused on medical rehabilitation, physical therapy, and fitness training solutions that’s spearheaded by former NBA pro turned inventor and entrepreneur Jonathan Bender, recently announced the company continues to realize extraordinary demand and sales growth for its therapeutic JBIT MedPro device designed to aid in the relief of chronic or intermittent shoulder, back, hip, knee, joint and sciatica pain.
The company concurrently announced notable milestones, including having realized exponential 5,000% growth over the past 18 months. Other milestones include:
—Finalized a partnership with University General Hospital Systems, Inc. in Houston, TX and UGHS Dallas Hospitals, Inc. along with the CEO of both entities, Dr. Hassan Chahadeh, who will serve as the medical spokesperson for JB3 Innovations.
—Launched nationwide Pain Free Clinics www.MedProClinics.com where both medical and health industry professionals and individuals who suffer from knee, hip, back/sciatica or shoulder pain have a no-cost opportunity to experience the JBIT MedPro device first hand. A health professional is on-site at each clinic to provide tips and strategies on how to manage or even overcome debilitating and chronic pain.
—Introduction of the Boost Therapy optional home therapy program to provide even more pain-relieving services for consumers. The program avails affordable on-line therapy sessions (less than $6 per session) via www.JBITMedpro.com for people to follow while using their equipment either at home or traveling. The company continues to release unique physical therapy videos that all focus on reducing osteoarthritis, lower back, hip and shoulder pain caused by injury or overexertion.
The entire Boost Therapy program video series features advice and instruction by a licensed doctor of physical therapy.
“The early success of the JBIT MedPro is due to its versatility—it’s for anyone seeking relief from joint pain as well as those desiring to increase their physical fitness,” says JB3 Innovations CEO and product inventor Jonathan Bender. He conceived the product due to knee pain he experienced as a professional athlete playing for both the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks NBA teams.
“Far beyond its clear value current and former athletes for whom joint pain is nearly universal, this device is for anyone at all who suffers from chronic orthopedic issues, including seniors, those with nagging injuries, everyday fitness enthusiasts and even those in the workplace where sitting at a desk or more physical demands cause persistent pain. Then, beyond the pain relief aspect, the device is also an innovative and effective way to integrate fitness into daily life and garner the benefits of rehabilitation therapy from anywhere. It’s a perfect complement to a weight loss plan.”
The success of the JBIT MedPro is no surprise given its roots. So debilitating was the pain in Jonathan Bender’s knees that, after 7 years playing in the NBA, he took a 4-year retirement. Not one to sit idle or suffer helplessly, Bender worked with scientists and engineers to painstakingly develop a first-of-its-kind rehabilitative product to address joint pain and physical limitation problems that, even today, cannot be rectified with any other physical therapy device on the market.
While using his own product prototype—now coined the “JBIT MedPro”—Bender became fit enough to re-enter the NBA, playing for another year with the New York Knicks. When the team doctors did strengthening tests on Bender they discovered he had the strongest lower extremities on the team! But things had changed for Bender in the interim, he had the entrepreneurial bug and the game just didn’t mean as much to him as it had in the past. So at 29 — to the surprise of many–, Bender retired again. This former “boy wonder” of the NBA who had shocked everyone by making the Top 5 of the ’99 Draft— channeled all of his energy and determined work ethic into further developing, refining and marketing his medical devic. This device is now making extraordinary industry strides and helping individuals throughout the U.S. effectively and easily alleviate joint pain.
Test results are proof positive. During biomechanical analysis performed at Purdue University, the JBIT MedPro design performed extraordinarily well.
“It actually takes pressure off the knees by evening out the load and making the legs work the way they’re supposed to work,” noted Eric Nauman, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University.
How the JBIT MedPro Works
The rapid marketplace acceptance of the JBIT MedPro is spurred by its unique design, which serves a dual purpose of relieving pressure from the joints by delivering a zero gravity field that is just like being in water or in outer space. It acts as an “external hamstring” while also delivering constant resistance to strengthen the core and lower extremity muscles.
The innovative device adapts to a person’s natural movements for daily wear to relieve chronic joint pain and/or to reach fitness training goals. Completely portable, it adjusts to the body’s natural motion, making it ideal for everyday wear. And, given its adjustable fit, multiple levels of resistance and padded back support that includes a convenient hot/cold gel pack, the JBIT MedPro is as comfortable as it is functional.
The JBIT MedPro addresses a multitude of specific needs, including:
Back pain/Sciatica – Placing external resistance against the waist belt, the JBIT MedPro triggers core musculature to activate. The JBIT MedPro also provides proprioceptive feedback, helping users find their ideal pelvic position.
These dual actions can result in the removal of pressure from the spine, as well as the leg pain associated with sciatica.
Knee pain – Exercising with the JBIT MedPro provides both eccentric and concentric contractions.These contractions, in turn, recruit the quadricep muscles, helping to protect the knee.
Hip pain – Placing resistance on the lower extremities, the JBIT MedPro requires the muscles surrounding the pelvis to contract, helping to strengthen and support the hips.
Weight loss – The JBIT MedPro generates added resistance with every step while walking or jogging, resulting in a higher caloric burn and allowing for the possibility of faster results.
Shoulder pain – Using the JBIT MedPro’s upper component will help recruit, engage and, in turn, strengthen shoulder muscles. As a result, the device helps relieve shoulder joint pain and decreases the likelihood of developing rotator cuff issues.
About the Product Developer
After entering the NBA in 1999 as the number five overall draft pick, Jonathan Bender soon realized that a painful growth spurt he suffered during childhood was haunting him. Desperate to take pressure off his knees, he engineered his own apparatus using a few supplies he picked up at a drugstore. Through trial and error, he successfully created a series of bands running from his waist down to his Achilles tendon, all attached by a harness and stirrup. The prototype proved to resolve Jonathan’s persistent knee pain, which enabled him — after four years of forced retirement — to return to the league and resume playing. Now fully developed, tested and available to the masses as the JBIT MedPro, this unparalleled device complements medical rehabilitation, physical therapy and fitness regimens by providing relief of chronic pain. Jonathan himself continues to use it today to maintain full-body fitness.

Terrestrial water!!! this is a brilliant thing to give people external hamstrings…smart man!! of course water itself does the best job of this, but I have found that we have to get out of the water to do all kinds of things.
